  Free-to-Play Date Updated to September 28

  Hi everyone,On September 28, Call the Cat will become free to play on Steam.I originally planned to make the game free on September 17, but Steam let me know that newly released games cannot have their price changed until 30 days after release. Because of that policy, I’ve moved the free-to-play date to September 28.If you already own the game, nothing changes. It stays in your library permanently and everything you have is kept.To everyone who bought it since launch: thank you. You paid for this game when it had a price on it, and that is not something I take lightly. You are the reason it got finished, and the reason there is a next one.Why I'm doing this. Rather than leave the game sitting behind a price tag, I would rather have as many people as possible actually play it. It's a small game about cats, and it belongs in more hands than a price tag allows.What's in it. Two ways to play. Galaxy is the main mode: launch from your station, land on planets, clear out what's living there, and paint the surface to claim it. What you bring home builds your base — a shop, a farm, a power plant, and eventually the station and the ship themselves. Cold worlds, hot worlds, and worlds that simply do not sit still.Dream is the arena run: waves of enemies, a card drafted between fights, and a roster of cats to unlock. No two runs are shaped the same.I'm posting this in advance so that anyone thinking about buying right now can decide with full information. If you'd rather wait, September 28 is the day.Come play. Bring a friend who likes cats.— barendevlog

  Call the Cat: Galaxy - Version 1.0 Full Release

  Call the Cat: Galaxy has officially left Early Access and is now fully released as Version 1.0! For the full release, the game has been reorganized around two main ways to play: Galaxy exploration and Dream LogNyang. ■ Galaxy Travel through space with Ruru in a spacesuit. Land on tiny planets, paint their surfaces, collect treats, avoid or defeat monsters, and expand the cats' territory across the galaxy. Explore cookie, ice, fire, chaos, and other themed worlds while progressing from small planets to larger ones. Return to Cat Headquarters between expeditions to upgrade your home and spaceship before launching again. ■ Dream LogNyang Dream LogNyang is a separate survival combat mode. Fight waves of monsters and powerful bosses, choose ability cards during battle, and create different combinations as you grow stronger. Ruru and Dodo each have their own combat style, offering different ways to take on the challenge. ■ Changes from Early Access • Early Access has ended and Version 1.0 is now officially available. • The previous five minigames and healing-focused mode have been removed. • The game is now focused on Galaxy exploration and Dream LogNyang. • Galaxy gameplay has been rebuilt around Ruru's space adventure. • Various gameplay, balance, UI, and progression systems have been updated. • 12 languages are supported. Thank you to everyone who played and supported Call the Cat during Early Access. Suit up with Ruru and paint the galaxy in cat colors!

  Major System Overhaul Incoming — New Galaxy Mode Update

  Hello, this is the Call the Cat team.In late August, the base version of the game will be replaced with an entirely new build.This isn't a small patch — it's a full system overhaul that includes a complete engine change. We rebuilt the game on a new engine for a more stable, smoother experience. As part of this change, we removed the old Healing mode to make room for more fun, and replaced it with brand-new content: Galaxy mode. Explore space and conquer planets in a completely new way to play.The LogMode you already know and love stays exactly as it is, and most of your existing save data will carry over so you can keep playing right where you left off.This replacement build isn't the final, polished release — think of it as a beta-style transition version on the way to the full release. Since we're overhauling the game's systems from the ground up, there may be some rough edges, and we'll keep refining and polishing it going forward.You can try the new version right now in the demo. The full (paid) version will receive the same upgrade later, with additional fixes and polish based on what we learn from the demo.Thank you for your continued support of the new Call the Cat — we'd love to hear your feedback.
